Technical safety

The tubes of the refrigeration circuit convey a small
quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable
refrigerant (R600a). It does not damage the ozone
layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. If
refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.
If damage has occurred
keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away
■
from the appliance,
thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,
■
switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug,
■
inform customer service.
■
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger
the room must be in which the appliance is situated.
Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air
mixture in rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant.
The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated
on the rating plate inside the appliance.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service or a
similarly qualified person. Improper installations and
repairs may put the user at considerable risk.
